Biomass Production Scale in Japan

Biomass Production

Abundance, Biomass, and Production

Fisheries scientists face a challenge in that virtually all methods of fish capture or observation are selective. Further, most fish capture methods can be applied to only a fraction of the entire area of interest. Thus, measures such as catch per unit effort (C/f) or catch per area can only be regarded, at best, as being proportional to the true population abundance (see Chapter 7). The method...

Targeted Sequencing Reveals Large-Scale Sequence Polymorphism in Maize Candidate Genes for Biomass Production and Composition

A major goal of maize genomic research is to identify sequence polymorphisms responsible for phenotypic variation in traits of economic importance. Large-scale detection of sequence variation is critical for linking genes, or genomic regions, to phenotypes. However, due to its size and complexity, it remains expensive to generate whole genome sequences of sufficient coverage for divergent maize...

Biomass Harvesting of Native Grasslands in West Central Minnesota: A production scale pilot study

Economical Evaluation of Biomass-fired Power Generation in Japan

Biomass, that is carbon neutral and a renewable resource, becomes attractive after the decision of Biomass-Nippon strategy in Japan. We are trying to construct a database concerning utilization of woody biomass. There are many kind of biomass and the conversion technologies are also manifold. Therefore, in this study, biomass-fired power generation was aimed because it has been already substant...
